La Boucle de l'Étoile

Attention, gem alert. The Boucle de l'Étoile is a total immersion in an exceptional natural environment, a personal and collective challenge, a unique opportunity to push your limits. It's a golden event you can't miss. Ready for a new adventure?

What you'll find there:

• 2 ultra-trail distances (approximately 130 km) and a trek and trail format of 80 km, the route of which remains secret until the day of the race;

• The Eastern Desert in the northeast of Morocco between Bouarfa and Tendrara in front of your astonished eyes;

• 3 days of racing and 4 nights on site to marvel at;

• A quality organization that takes care of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, bivouac equipment, supplies, security, Wi-Fi connection and more;

• A committed event: each bib supports health, education, the environment, access to the Trek for people in remission from cancer and the development of the local economy of the Oriental Desert.

Course focus:

Meet at Oujda for the start of the adventure. After a visit to the city, head to the desert where you'll spend the next few days. No, no spoilers, to find out the route you have to come! You just need to know that: you're going to live an exceptional experience, in the desert, with the sole objective of surpassing yourself and fully enjoying it alongside humans who (also) will have a tear in their eye about 4 times an hour. Unless it's a drop of sweat. Or both.

In short: during the day, it's trail running, in the evening, it's tasting local specialties, at night, it's sleeping under the stars and in the morning, it's admiring the sunrise while brushing your teeth before setting off again. Not to mention the breaks to empty kilos of sand stored in your shoes. But honestly, if we were you, we'd keep a little in our socks for the way home. Souvenir 🙄.

If you're looking for your next sporting challenge and you're not afraid of emptying kilos of sand from your shoes at every pee break, the Boucle de l'Étoile is for you.
